Jay-Z featuring Fela Kuti: Nigerian Gangster.
Author: daddyL // Category: Hip-Hop, Indie
Seeing as how Nigerian music has been getting mad love over the last few months, it was only fitting for Mike Love to put together this Fela mashup. If you haven’t explored Fela Kuti now is as good as time as any. The guy is the papa bear of an African music scene that is painfully underexposed.
And speaking of bears (what a transition!), Grizzly Bear has been running shit in indie world. I posted on a project they were working on a while back, and there will undoubtedly be posts dedicated to them in the future. Meanwhile, this song is just amazing.

LOL What’s funny is the face on the cover of “Nigerian Gangster” is actually Femi Kuti, Fela’s son who is also an afrobeat artist..
